Kidd controlled the Mavericks as a whole, and in the third quarter, they launched an unprecedented offensive attack, and their coach Carlisle saw this section as extremely important, and he asked the team to snipe the tired Warriors in this quarter, and he believed that the back-to-back Warriors had played so hard in the last game, and they must have run out of energy today, and they could withstand it in the first half, because the glory of the winning streak was stimulating these players.

Carlisle's new arrangement for the Mavericks in the locker room at halftime was to completely crush the Warriors in the third quarter, and he believes that the current Warriors are at the end of their game, and they are only the last straw left from the rout.

Kidd's spicy passing became the last straw for this, even if Chamberlain still performed well on the defensive end, but the Warriors' overall offensive firepower was not good, and they lost to the Mavericks by 16 points 68-84 after the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Nelson Sr. launched a wide range of substitutions, Curry and Morrow were substituted at the same time, and they played under Hill's leadership, while Chamberlain, Billups, Iverson and other main players all went off the court.

Although the opponent seemed to have given up the game, the Mavericks did not dare to relax, and Nowitzki led Terry and Howard to remain on the court. Carlisle was the right fit, and while Nelson Sr. no longer valued the outcome of the game, the rest of the players didn't think so.

Curry opened with a three-point jumper, and Terry didn't expect the rookie to be so arrogant, the two were standing face to face, Curry was one step away from the three-point line, and he jumped up and made a ferocious long-range shot.

Nowitzki hit an iron shot, Ibaka grabbed the rebound and threw it to Curry, the Warriors launched a fast-break counterattack, Morrow wanted to pass the ball and attack from the right side, he forced a layup and caused a foul on Howard, but he just came on the court and felt average, only one of the two free throws.

Kidd sat on the bench a little anxious, these rookies were too violent, he was afraid that the other party would punch and kill the master.

Nowitzki's interior singles shot stabilized the Mavericks' morale, after all, he is a world-class superstar, Chamberlain is not on the court, and no one on the Warriors can guard him on a one-on-one basis.

Carlisle thought that the third quarter had crushed the Warriors, but it was clear that he underestimated the persistence of the Warriors players, and Curry rushed to the front court with the ball, and continued to jump outside the three-point line without saying a word. Terry was startled and flew up to defend, but Curry slyly pounced on him and cheated a three-point foul directly!

Three free throws and three hits, the Warriors' counterattack surprised the Mavericks, they knew that the Warriors' bench was strong, but they didn't expect them to be so tough on the outside, and the two rookies actually disrupted the Mavericks, an old team, forcing Carlisle to call a timeout and replace it with Kidd.

Kidd lived up to his name, and as soon as he got on the court, he planned an aerial relay and Howard scored a dunk in the middle.

The stalemate score made the two sides fight more and more fiercely, and there were even many people on the court who fell to the ground to grab the ball: Kidd pressed Curry and caused the latter to make a mistake, the ball rolled straight out, Morrow and Terry pounced together, Hill rushed up despite the old injuries and tore with these young and strong newcomers, Ibaka and Howard behind followed, and the court seemed to become a wrestling arena for a while.

The Warriors are not afraid of death, but the Mavericks have a stronger sense of revenge, relying on the obsession of 'defeating the Warriors', the Mavericks grabbed the ball, Nowitzki then hit a jumper on the left baseline, but only one round, Ibaka grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked, and the Warriors' crazy counterattack gradually pulled the difference back to single digits.

However, Nelson Sr. still had no intention of replacing the main force, Curry, Morrow and others tried their best to fight back, facing the main lineup of Dampier + Nowitzki + Howard + Terry + Kidd sent by the Mavericks, they chased the score to 96-100 at the least.

With more than 2 minutes left in the quarter, Nowitzki boosted the morale of the Mavericks with a resolute jumper, Curry missed a jumper, Dampier picked up the rebound, and the Mavericks counterattacked with a fast break, and Kidd deceived Curry and Morrow into making a layup, leaving the Warriors with just over 1 minute.

The rookie's immaturity was on display at this point, with Morrow making a foul but missing two free throws, Ibaka blocking Nowitzki's layup, but Curry again missed a long-range shot. Curry made a layup with 37 seconds left for Nowitzki to foul the court with six fouls and hit two free throws, but then a long-range three-pointer from Terry ended the game.

At 110-103, the Warriors' winning streak came to an abrupt end, and the Mavericks maintained their five-game winning streak to win the important game at home.

Chamberlain and Nowitzki stepped forward to hug, and the German tank was in a good mood to win, no longer with that rigid expression, but grinning: "Hey, boy, good day, your team caused us some difficulties, but we won the game, right, we are better?" ”

Chamberlain pouted and said: "Look, you are so unconfident that you can even win against us, you know best what the strength of your team is!" See you all stars, Dirk, and hopefully you'll be on the court with me then. ”

Nowitzki played 45 minutes and had 31 points and 11 rebounds on 11-of-21 shooting, and Kidd was the hero of their victory, scoring a respectable triple-double of 17 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds, his fifth triple-double of the season, and his second straight triple-double, with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists in his last game against the Rockets.

The game also has some significance for Kidd, as it was his 100th career triple-double, and so far Kidd ranks third on the league's all-time triple-double list with 100 triple-doubles, just behind Oscar Robinson's 181 and Magic's Johnson's 138. It took him 1,028 races to achieve this result, an average of 10. He can get a triple-double in four games.

In addition, he has set a league record for at least one triple-double in each of the 16 consecutive seasons. Only two of the league's 30 teams have never had him a triple-double in a game when he was against him, and sadly, the Warriors were never one of those two teams.

The Warriors' highest scorer was Iverson, who scored 36 points in 40 minutes, the highest in the game, but he was sullen in the face of this result, and he scored high scores but the team lost, God, are you deliberately making excuses for the fans to hack me?

Curry and Morrow played efficiently in the fourth quarter, and the two combined to score 25 points, while the Warriors scored 35 points in the entire fourth quarter — when the two sides stopped defending and started an offensive battle, so the fourth quarter was the highest in the four quarters of the game.

Chamberlain's performance today can be called mediocre, playing 30 minutes far less than the average of 44 minutes per game this season, in addition to his only 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting and only 14 rebounds - this data is still worth showing off for many people, even if it is the so-called top interior line now, in the eyes of many fans, this can already be said to be a big double-double, but this data appears in Chamberlain, people feel incredible.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter fired directly at Chamberlain and asked, "Mr. Z, is there a problem with your physical strength?" Why did you only play 30 minutes today? You're a famous iron man in the league, it's not like your style, we've heard there's a problem in your team's locker room, are you protesting something? ”

Chamberlain was stunned by this reporter, he took a closer look at the LOGO on the reporter's microphone turned out to be "USA Today", and thought to himself that it is worthy of the first paparazzi newspaper in the United States, they just got the news after arguing in the locker room, could it be that these bastards have planted spies in our locker room?

Of course, Chamberlain will not admit these things, he said lightly: "I follow the manager's arrangement, I will play if I am asked to play, and I will rest when Tang tells me to rest." ”

Old Nelson, who was deserting at the meeting, almost scolded when he heard this, boy, aren't you causing trouble? Sure enough, after listening to Chamberlain's words, the reporters turned their attention to old Nelson and asked, "Mr. Nelson, why did you let Z sit on the bench for so long today?" ”

"Are you not satisfied with Z's performance? I heard that the Warriors are planning to trade Z, right? ”

"Mr. Nelson, are you planning to trade Chamberlain to continue playing small-ball tactics? But Stephen Curry and Morrow were really wonderful......"

"We think the Warriors can win in the second half of the fourth quarter if they switch to the main lineup, don't we? At that time, the score of the team had been chased to four points by the substitutes, and the gap was so small, why didn't Coach Nelson replace the main team? ”

Old Nelson was dizzy by these questions, and the last question especially made him unhappy, he couldn't tell these reporters that Lao Tzu didn't want to win on a winning streak, right? So he patted the table and said, "Replacement? How do I change people? Who am I going to go with? You need to understand that every player who makes it to the NBA is one of the world's top stars, and everyone has the ability to change the outcome of the game. As you can see, my lads played really well in the fourth quarter, they were close to tying the score, and the fact that we couldn't win at the end of the game is to say that God doesn't want to see us take the win away from Dallas. Also, my lads don't play on the bench because they're not much worse than they are the starters, but because the team needs different people to contribute at different times, some are suitable for the team at the beginning and some are suitable for the fourth quarter, and that's the difference between the main players and the substitutes. ”

Chamberlain gave a thumbs up to old Nelson, then leaned in and whispered: "The boss is amazing, you are better than politicians say, it's a shame not to run for president." ”

Old Nelson was proud, he glanced at the reporters in the audience with disdain and also responded in a low voice: "What is this, boy, learn from me, the bridge I crossed is farther than you walk, and I eat more salt than you eat rice......"

Chamberlain laughed and said, "Do you eat industrial salt?" Otherwise, what will cause cancer? ”

Old Nelson was just about to blow his beard and stare at him, when another reporter stood up and said, "Hello, Coach Don, I'm a reporter from the Dallas Cowboys, I want to ask, what do you think about the Timberwolves head coach Mr. McHale about saying that 'Chamberlain relied on his Chinese status to become the king of votes'?" ”

Yesterday, the results of the second round of All-Star voting were released, and Chamberlain led the stars of the league with 2 million votes, and he had 600,000 more votes than the second-place James! So Chamberlain told Nowitzki that we'd see you at the All-Star Game, because he had basically determined the All-Star qualification.

The appearance of this topic quickly attracted the attention of old Nelson, who gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you talking about?" I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly, is it MacArthur? Oh, McHale? Kevin McHale? Ha Luha, that guy is a clown, please help me tell him, usually don't show up outside, or go back and find a way to lead his Timberwolves into the playoffs, a career can't start the interior has a face to comment on a player who is destined to become the top interior player in the history of the league? ”

McHale won three championships in 13 years of his career and averaged 17 of his 971 regular-season games. 9 points, 7. 3 rebounds, 1. Seven assists, a total of 17,355 points, 7,122 blue boards, 1,690 blocks and a career 55. 4% hit rate. As of the 1994-1995 season, he was the fifth-leading scorer in Celtics history, behind only John Havlicek, Paul Pearce, "Big Birdie" and "Chiefs."

The reason why Nelson Sr. said that McHale couldn't play the starter was actually to find a reason to laugh at him, because in Auerbach's hands, McHale played the sixth man, and Ginobili's position in the Spurs was the result of Popovich's imitation of Auerbach, of course, Nelson Sr. arranged for West to play the sixth man, which is also the reason.

In fact, it was the emergence of McHale that created the position of sixth man in the NBA, and teams did not pay attention to the bench at all.

After listening to the old Nelson's words, the reporters put their excited eyes on Chamberlain again, now it's okay, there is a topic to write about, 'The Green Shirts doubt the ability of the league's upstarts, and the Celtics veterans accuse the juniors of low level' - the same as McHale, the old Nelson's playing days were also spent with the Celtics, he is McHale's senior.

Facing the waiting of reporters, Chamberlain asked happily: "Can anyone tell me when we will play the Timberwolves?" Can anyone tell me what the individual scores, rebounds, and blocks were in the previous games against the Timberwolves?! ”
